The last holdouts in CA can still make their get away 'cuz they'll make up for their losses through the massive improvement of their capital growth rate. I'm glad to hear you're on the way back. Love the parallel.

Comfortable doing the same thing for a long time with generally good results, a few hints of declining performance. Then an honest assessment of your current circumstances followed by radical changes necessary to get back on track. Am I talking heart disease or SoCal real estate? Both. The last of my SoCal investment properties was sold off in Apr '06 (273x monthly rent). The same house was recently offered for 20% less than they paid. I'm glad I didn't wait too long then either.

I've known several friends and acquaintances who've had multiple bypass surgery, including my mother-in-law, and their lives have improved almost immeasurably. How're you doin' so far? I've checked with WebMD, and they say this particular surgery has little or no effect on risibility or snarkiness. :) So THAT’S where you’ve been.

Fortunately I'm as risible and snarky as ever without it.

No, "sweet Home Alabama" did not come to mind. As far as investing in RE, I'll remain patient and wait for a "Saturday Night Special."
